Punchestowns - any news?

Yes. Still jumps like an antique snooker table.

people were saying the same thing about Diamond Harry 2 weeks ago!

was due to run Friday at Sandown. hopefully out soon (superstar in the making)

Agreed, easy to forget that he went off favourite ahead of talking horse Long Run in the RSA.  The only horse to give Big Bucks a race over hurdles too.

pretty certain henderson said there is a race at ascot for him on the ladbroke hurdle? meeting

Presumably the long walk, in which he is entered.

And i suspect only running in that because of the abandonment of Sandown where he was due back over fences.

Graduation chase at Ascot.

Thanks Flying. That would be preferable.

Still cant believe Henderson had this one down with Long Run as possibly in future the best 2 he'd ever trained.

Please mr Henderson run him in the QMCC

.

Beating Riverside Theatre doesnt make Long Run a great horse clown.

sintonian proves again how stupidity has no bounds.

.

what do we think of Long Run now I wonder .. mmm.

You are a first rate w@nker as you have saved a thread that does not have the context that caught you out. Of course beating Riverside didnt make Long Run a great horse however my threads on Long Run last season where I said he would be and go RSA instead of Arkle and staked to win thousands on him in a double with Special Duty the Guineas left no doubts re my thoughts and my advice to avoid Punchestowns. It shows how thick you are again what a first rate idiot and loser you are selecting a post which could be seen as the opposite. If I could be arsed I would find the thread where I exposed you on this but you are scum and not worth the effort. Anyone who wants to velieve you fk them too.

Got to be between Long Run and Imperial Commander. Maybe Denman can tank on into old age think Kauto was past his best come the KG regardless of pre-race reports.

Now they have intensively schooled Long Run the transformation in his jumping has been tremendous and he is being schooled even more in the run up to the Gold Cup. The jockey is fine if the horses jumping problems are solved and can see him starting a new era amongst the younger horses agree with Henderson this is way his best chance of winning the Gold Cup.

Thought Paul Nicholls comments re experience counting in the Gold Cup were misleading. He was trying to raise optimism due to the age of his runners and they may get away with it due to the lack of strength in depth of the other runners. However history shows the opposite is the case and 'age ' is very important as opposed to 'experience' in the Gold Cup.

When there is a good young un in the field like Long Run, especially a wide margin King George winner it is best to side with them if up and coming. Intensive schooling has made him a different horse jumping which will buy him many lengths in the Gold Cup compared to the RSA. I disagreed with Henderson thinking Punchestowns would be a great horse but not this one (as an antepost double with Special Duty the Guineas would testify) pointing out post Festival I couldnt believe Hendersons comments whereby he wasnt being schooled to iron out his problems. Well they have done that closed season and it shows there is nothing caught in the spokes now and the jockey is less important in getting him organised at fences and can guide him around as in the KG.

Reminds me of an early Best Mate, doubts about getting the trip (and Kicking King post his KG re trip). He will get the trip alright and for me is the one they all have to beat .. from now on in any staying chase.

I said before the season started he would be overbet and due to his jumping problems would not be value. However they have all but gone and dont mind saying I took the 13/2 which is tremendous value for a wide margin young King George winner amongst an ageing field at Cheltenham. He is tremendous value at 6s.

u guys

ffs is there a need
